Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 88 Marriage
"please."

Ye Wuchen guided Lu Fan to the gate.

"Young master, you are back!"

When the doorman saw Ye Wuchen, he was both surprised and happy, and hurried forward, bowing to salute.

"Ah."

Ye Wuchen nodded, and walked into the gate with Lu Fan.

The two walked through several courtyards and came to a separate small courtyard.

The courtyard is a three-story pavilion.

"Sir, you are back."

A few girls greeted them, looking extremely happy.

"You bring distinguished guests into the house and entertain them attentively. I will come whenever I go."

Ye Wuchen gave an order, and then turned his gaze to Lu Fan, "Brother Lu, I'll go to pay my parents a respect, and I'll be back in a while, you come in and sit down."

"Okay, you go."

Lu Fan watched Ye Wuchen leave, then turned around, and entered the house under the guidance of the girl.

Come to the living room.

"please sit down."

Several girls made tea for Lu Fan, beckoned him to sit down, and stood behind him with their hands down, ready to serve him at any time.

Lu Fan picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and immediately tasted the fragrance, with endless aftertaste.

He doesn't know much about tea, but he can taste the tea very well.

After a long time, light footsteps sounded.

Listen to the voice, like two people.

Except for Ye Wuchen, the footsteps of the other person were extremely light, as if they were quite cautious.

And, like a woman.

who can that be?

Lu Fan was a little strange.

This is in Ye Mansion, the people who came were either Ye Wuchen's family members or Ye Wuchen's maid.

Why be careful?

Unreasonable?
Just as he was thinking, Ye Wuchen pushed the door open and entered.

Sure enough, as Lu Fan guessed, the one following Ye Wuchen was a young girl.

She looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, with her head slightly lowered, her face shy.

But her appearance is extremely beautiful, although she hasn't fully grown yet, she is also amazing.

In particular, her little face was reddish, and her slender figure added a bit of fragility.

It will make people feel pity and take good care of them.

"Lu Fan, this is my sister, Ye Qingyun."

Ye Wuchen introduced with a smile.

"Oh, so it's Lingmei, nice to meet you!"

Lu Fan nodded slightly, but he was a little puzzled, why did Ye Wuchen call his sister here?
"I met Mr. Lu."

Ye Qingyun smiled shyly, glanced at Lu Fan, then quickly lowered her head.

"Sit down and talk, don't stick around."

Ye Wuchen smiled and beckoned the two to sit down.

"it is good."

The three of them sat down as the guest of honor, and the maid came over and poured tea.

"Stand back, everyone."

Ye Wuchen waved his hand.

"Yes."

Several girls withdrew together.

Only Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen were left in the living room.

"Brother Lu, don't be surprised."

Ye Wuchen said with a smile: "It was I who often mentioned you to my sister in the letter. She heard that you were here, so she wanted to see you."

"I'm the one who bothered you, how could you be offended?"

Lu Fan was polite.

"I have a good relationship with my sister since I was young."

Ye Wuchen said: "She never sees outsiders, and she hardly ever goes out, but for some reason, after hearing about your deeds, she keeps asking about you. As a last resort, I brought you home."

"The things I did were not worth mentioning."

Lu Fan said a few words modestly, and he understood that Ye Wuchen's purpose of bringing him home was for his younger sister Ye Qingyun?

Is there a deeper purpose?

No way?
Although his current strength is not bad, he has also shown good potential.

But the other party is an aristocratic family after all.

Just looking at the Ye family's mansion, you can tell that this family business is not small.

"If it wasn't for your parents' permission, Qing Yun would still like to come to the capital with us to see you show off your skills in the martial arts competition."

Ye Wuchen was talking, and glanced at his sister, "But now, I can only wait for you to come back, and then celebrate for you."

"To celebrate, I also celebrate for you."

Lu Fan shook his head slightly, "I know your strength is far above mine."

"Don't be humble in front of me."

Ye Wuchen said with a smile: "If you were really not my opponent a year ago, you may not be my opponent now, even I am not sure of defeating you."

The two seemed to be chatting, but Ye Wuchen intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to his sister, and even praised her a few words.

Ye Qingyun just listened quietly, without saying a word.

Lu Fan thought to himself, this little girl is shy and quiet enough.

I just don't know, what is his strength?

"Why doesn't Miss Ye speak?"

Lu Fan asked tentatively.

"You can call her Qing Yun, or you can call her sister."

Ye Wuchen continued: "She talked less since she was a child, but that doesn't mean she's stupid, she just doesn't like to talk, plus it's inevitable that she's a little shy when meeting you for the first time, and when you two get to know each other better, she'll naturally talk more."

"Same, I don't talk much."

Lu Fan understood that feeling very well.

"So, you and my sister are the same kind of people."

Ye Wuchen said with a smile: "They are all intelligent people, their hearts are like mirrors, they know everything, they just don't want to say it."

"Don't praise me any more."

Lu Fan was in a good mood and joked, "This is trying to kill me."

"Ha ha!"

Ye Wuchen laughed heartily.

Ye Qingyun on the side also pursed her lips and smiled.

"I have ordered people to prepare food and drinks, let's sit down."

Ye Wuchen got up and walked in front, "Please!"

"it is good."

Lu Fan followed Ye Wuchen to the dining room.

Ye Qingyun walked at the end, raising her head from time to time to catch a look at Lu Fan.

The tables and chairs have already been set up, and the eight cold dishes are served in advance.

Peanuts, sea rice mixed with cucumber, pork head meat, smoked fish, sauced elbow, pig ears, sauced beef, sausage.

They are all Lu Fan's favorite dishes.

"I gave special orders today."

Ye Wuchen smiled and said, "It's all your favorite dishes."

"Oh?"

Lu Fan was a little surprised that the other party even knew what he liked to eat.

Careful enough.

It seems that he has been watching him a lot.

"Troubleshoot!"

"You are my distinguished guest, of course you must treat yourself well."

Ye Wuchen stretched out his hand to signal, "Sit down quickly."

"it is good."

Lu Fan sat down first, and the Ye Wuchen brothers and sisters accompanied him on the left and right.

The maid came over and poured tea, and the wine was filled together.

Hot dishes are also served.

Eight-treasure duck, anchovy shrimp, wine-cured golden leg, money fish maw, roast lamb leg, sea cucumber, vegetarian pigeon egg, squirrel fish, vegetarian fish ball, crab and shrimp ball, lotus root in honey sauce, beauty liver, fish rice with pine nuts, etc.

There are more than 20 hot dishes.

There was a big table full.

Lu Fan had never eaten many dishes.

But it's what he likes to eat.

It seems that Ye Wuchen understands his taste very well.

"Brother Lu, I offer you a toast."

Ye Wuchen raised his wine glass and raised his hand at Lu Fan.

"it is good."

Lu Fan also picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with Ye Wuchen.

"cheers!"

The two drank the wine in their glasses.

Ye Qingyun also took a sip of wine to accompany her.

"Taste the food."

"it is good."

The three moved their chopsticks.

Lu Fan tried every dish, and they all tasted good.

This meal can increase a lot of attribute points.

Just as he was thinking, Ye Qingyun picked up the wine glass, "Master Lu, I offer you a toast, I wish you a great show of prowess in the competition, and come back with more first names."

"Thank you."

Lu Fan picked up the wine glass, touched Ye Qingyun, and drank the wine in the glass.

Ye Qingyun also happily drank a glass of wine.

"Sister, it's wrong for you to say that."

Ye Wuchen was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Let Lu Fan take away the first name, what should I take?"

"Brother, you can just take No.2."

Before Ye Qingyun finished speaking, she laughed first.

"You little girl!"

Ye Wuchen was also amused, and scolded with a smile: "It's too outrageous to not face your brother."

The three of them ate and drank, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good.

Even Ye Qingyun gradually let go, inserting a few words from time to time.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, there were hurried footsteps outside.

"Miss, madam calls you over."

A young girl ran in with a anxious expression, "Madam seems to be very angry and told you to go over quickly."

"Okay, got it."

Ye Qingyun stood up and smiled at Lu Fan, "Young Master Lu, I'm sorry, I'll excuse you for a while."

"Well, you go to work."

Lu Fan got up and saw them off.

"Sit down quickly."

Ye Qingyun winked at his elder brother, "Brother, please accompany Mr. Lu well."

"Go."

Ye Wuchen tugged Lu Fan lightly, picked up the wine glass, "Brother Lu, come on, let's continue drinking."

"it is good."

Lu Fan sat down, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with Ye Wuchen.

They drank it down again.

As the night deepened, the two of them ate and drank enough.

When they came to the living room, the maid made a new pot of hot tea and poured it for the two of them.

Chat casually.

Not long after, another maid came running in with a hasty expression, "Young Master, Master is calling you over."

"Row."

Ye Wuchen got up, and looked at Lu Fan apologetically, "Brother Lu, it's getting late, you go back to your room to rest first, and tomorrow morning, we will go back to the post house together, so I won't accompany you first."

"Well, you are busy with your work."

Lu Fan also stood up.

"You guys, take Mr. Lu to the room to rest."

Ye Wuchen turned his gaze to the girls, and said: "I'm so kind to serve you, don't be negligent."

"Yes, son."

The girls agreed and bowed slightly to Lu Fan, "Master Lu, please follow me."

"it is good."

Under the guidance of several girls, Lu Fan entered a room.

This is a bedroom.

The room was big and clean.

The sheets and bedding are all new.

"Mr. Lu, if you need anything else, please ask."

"No, you all back down."

Lu Fan waved his hand.

"Yes."

Several people went out and closed the door outside.

After Lu Fan went to bed, he began to meditate again.

……

……

As soon as Ye Wuchen entered the small courtyard where his parents lived, he heard his father's reprimand.

"Tell me about you, a girl's family, why do you want to show your face?"

"What is the system?"

"Besides, you are engaged, how can you eat at the same table with a strange man?"

"Also drinking?"

"Too outrageous!"

Hearing this, Ye Wuchen sighed in his heart, it was right to leave home.

It was really hard for him to bear his father's temper.

Ye Wuchen entered the living room, and saw his younger sister sitting there without saying a word, with a bit of grievance and stubbornness on her face.

His father Ye Qianshi kept pace.

Mother Chen Wenshi sat on the other side, looking quite embarrassed.

"You came just in time!"

Seeing Ye Wuchen, Ye Qianshi shouted at him: "I want to ask you carefully, why did you let your sister go to drink with you?"

"Father!"

Ye Wuchen was also a little angry, "Lu Fan is my friend, my sister and I entertain guests normally, how can we call it a companion?"

"You make friends outside, I have no problem."

Ye Qianshi managed to suppress the anger in his heart, and said: "I have no objection to you bringing your friend to the house, but it's your fault that he called his sister over."

"Don't you know that your sister is engaged?"

"If you let the other party know, what will you think?"

"Do you want our Ye family's face?"

The fire that was finally suppressed broke out again, and Ye Qianshi shouted: "Can you use your brain before doing something? Consider the consequences? You are such a big person, don't you know what you can do and what you can't do?"

"What's wrong with the engagement?"

Ye Wuchen snorted coldly and said, "How can Lin Yao be worthy of my sister?"

"Can't match?"

Ye Qianshi laughed angrily, "Okay, okay, let's talk about it."

"Aren't you just dissatisfied with your sister's engagement, that's why you let Lu Fan come to your house?"

"The purpose is to hope that Lu Fan can get your sister's heart, and then give up the previous engagement?"

"Then let's compare Lu Fan with Lin Yao."

"Let's see who is not worthy?"

Speaking of this, Ye Qianshi breathed a sigh of relief, found a chair and sat down, and motioned to Ye Wuchen, "You sit too."

"Row."

Ye Wuchen looked unconvinced, "Compare!"

"Let's talk about family background first. The Lin family and our Ye family are both super families, so they can be regarded as rightly matched."

Ye Qianshi snorted coldly: "Lu Fan is just a poor boy, he doesn't even have any relatives, how can he compare?"

"Let's talk about strength."

"Lin Yao has already reached the second rank cultivation base this year."

"As far as I know, Lu Fan is only a mere fourth rank, can it be compared?"

"In terms of status, the two are even farther apart."

The more Ye Qianshi said, the more confident he became, "Lin Yao is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. He is in charge of the Qianji Battalion with 5000 people. He is considered a high-ranking official in the Imperial Forest Army."

"Where's Lu Fan? Just a soldier!"

"So what if it's the Dragon Shadow Guard? Isn't it a small soldier with no real power?"

"Can it be compared?"

Speaking of this, Ye Qianshi glanced at Ye Wuchen, "Tell me, where is Lu Fan stronger than Lin Yao?"

"Okay, then I'll talk about it."

Ye Wuchen's expression softened a lot, "You don't know Lu Fan as well as I do, so naturally you don't know Lu Fan's advantages."

Ye Qingyun on the side pricked up her ears.

"First let's talk about character."

Ye Wuchen said: "Lu Fan's character can't be picked. He doesn't flirt with others, and he doesn't hide from others. He never messes with flowers and grass, seeks flowers and asks willows. He acts upright, sits upright, and only thinks about cultivation. The current achievements are all due to his own efforts."

"And what about Lin Yao?"

"Are there not enough girls to provoke?"

"That's what I despise Lin Yao the most."

"The girls who have been harmed by him are too numerous to count!"

Speaking of this, Ye Wuchen turned his gaze to Ye Qianshi, "Father, is my sister really going to marry this well-dressed beast?"

"what is this?"

Ye Qianshi didn't care, "Men are like this. Do you think Lu Fan doesn't want to? He doesn't have that condition!"

"Then you are wrong, Lu Fan is really not such a person."

Ye Wuchen changed the subject and said: "And the most important point, the brother-in-law you chose for me is too flamboyant, you can be called domineering, but he often offends people."

"In case something happens to him in the future, my sister will be implicated."

"You talk about family background, I admit that Lu Fan is not as good as Lin Yao."

"But when it comes to status and status, don't even think about it. How did Lin Yao achieve the position of governor? Didn't he rely on his family relationship?"

"Although Lu Fan is not as good as Lin Yao now, it may not be the same in the future."

"What I value is Lu Fan's potential."

"After this big martial arts competition, Lu Fan will come back with a first name, and he will definitely be reused by the emperor."

"It will be a matter of time to become the capital."

Ye Wuchen seemed confident, "Even higher! I believe Lu Fan has this potential!"

"Do you think Lu Fan can take the top spot?"

Ye Qianshi didn't believe it, "Just relying on Lu Fan's mere fourth-rank cultivation? I'm afraid it will be difficult?"

"Difficult is difficult, but it may not be impossible."

Ye Wuchen said: "Since we're talking about cultivation, let's make a comparison."

"Lu Fan is only 17 years old, and he has already reached the fourth rank, or even more than that."

"I always feel that he is hiding his strength."

"Maybe it has reached the third rank."

"In that case, he will have a good chance of getting the first place in a competition."

"When Lu Fan arrives, he should be able to reach the second rank."

"Because he improved so fast, he was promoted from rank nine to rank four in just one year."

"This talent, even I, can't do it."

"You can see his potential."

"So, in terms of strength, Lu Fan is indeed inferior to Lin Yao now."

"But in terms of potential, Lu Fan will far surpass Lin Yao."

The more Ye Wuchen said, the more confident he became, "I believe that in a few years, Lu Fan's strength will surpass Lin Yao's, and even surpass the vast majority of people, and become a generation of strong!"

"is it?"

Ye Qianshi frowned, "Lu Fan really has such a talent?"

"of course."

Ye Wuchen nodded, "You're just hearsay, of course I don't know as much as I do, but I watched him grow up step by step, and I know his potential, even surpassing mine."

"When Lu Fan's strength increases, his status will naturally increase."

"After many years, when he reaches a certain high position, his family background is nothing."

"The advantages you mentioned are not disadvantages to Lu Fan."

Speaking of this, Ye Wuchen heaved a sigh of relief, "In my opinion, Lu Fan is stronger than Lin Yao in any comparison, and much stronger!"

"This is just your guesswork."

Ye Qianshi was silent for a while, and said: "It is still uncertain how far Lu Fan can grow."

"But Lin Yao, the future can already be seen."

"What's more, this marriage has already been settled, and there are too many things involved."

"It is impossible for me to reject this marriage."

"So, you can't convince me."

Ye Qianshi shook his head, "No matter how good Lu Fan is, he can't be the son-in-law of my Ye family."

"Okay, you two don't argue anymore."

Chen Wenshi on the side interjected: "Since the marriage has already been decided, it will not be changed easily. Your father was right just now, no matter how good Lu Fan is, it has nothing to do with us. Your sister has already committed someone, so stop thinking about those unrealistic things."

"I just want to find a way out for my sister."

Ye Wuchen also knew that this matter was extremely difficult, so he sighed, "I know you guys won't change your mind easily, but I won't give up easily either, as long as my sister doesn't marry for a day, Lu Fan will have a chance."

"You child!"

Chen Wenshi gave Ye Wuchen a blank look, "Why are you so stubborn? You must know that even your father and I cannot have the final say on Qing Yun's marriage."

"There are so many old people in our family, as well as the patriarch, who participated in this marriage at the beginning and gave their opinions."

"How can it be so easy to repent now?"

"It's you, how many marriages have I told you? You just don't agree. "

"I don't understand, what exactly are you looking for?"

"You're not too old anymore."

"I don't care. I'll give you another year. If you can't find a suitable one, just listen to me."

Although Chen Wenshi's tone was light, there was no doubt about it, "You have to listen to me when the time comes, and I will make proper arrangements for you."

"Ugh!"

Ye Wuchen could only sigh, "Why did you mention this again?"

"I'm here for you!"

Chen Wenshi stared and was about to get angry.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it."

Ye Wuchen hurriedly slipped away, "I'm going to sleep."

"This child."

Ye Qianshi and Chen Wenshi looked at Ye Wuchen's retreating back, feeling a little worried.

It's difficult to control the child when he grows up.

……

……

the next morning.

Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen had breakfast, left Ye Mansion, and returned to the post house.

The team continued to set off, all the way north.

Five days later.

March NO.18.

noon.

Lu Fan and his party arrived in the capital.

This time, no one greeted them.

After coming out for so many days and passing through so many cities, this was the first time he was left out in the cold.

Riding on the street, there are not so many people who pay attention to them.

Perhaps in the eyes of the people in the capital, they are just ordinary people, nothing special.

Came to the post house, had lunch in a hurry.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen lived in the same room.

Back in the room, Ye Wuchen went to bed and fell asleep.

Lu Fan was meditating.

two hours later.

Ye Wuchen woke up, glanced at Lu Fan, and said, "Stop practicing, let's go out for a walk?"

"Row."

Lu Fan is not so urgent to practice now, he is just used to it.

The two changed into casual clothes and left the room, just in time to meet Cao Ning and Meng Ran, and in front of them were Qin Yu, Song Yu, Lu Rui and others.

But Qin Yu is alone, unlike others who have companions.

"Lu Fan, you guys go out too."

Cao Ning greeted with a smile.

"Ah."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "You too, right?"

"Yes."

Cao Ning nodded, "The Lord Commander said that we are free to move around this afternoon, just come back in the evening. It just so happens that I haven't been to the capital yet, so I'll take this opportunity to take a good look."

Several people were talking and walked out of the post house, only to see many people waiting outside the post house and several carriages parked.

The carriage at the front was golden, mixed with other colors, as if it was inlaid with gold, and decorated with jewels.

It looks radiant.

Especially at this time, the sun is shining, shining on the carriage, it is extremely dazzling.

A four-pin black tall horse is tied in front of the carriage.

The hair is so shiny that not a single stray hair can be seen.

Surrounded by the crowd was a young man with a handsome appearance and an extraordinary temperament, with a hint of arrogance hidden on his face.

But when he saw Lu Fan, the arrogance on his face disappeared, replaced by kindness and joy.

"Lu Fan!"

The boy shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
